My cousin who is legally blind, qualified for tuition assistance based on that disabiltiy and drove to school everyday.

He was able to pass the eye exam for a drivers license while wearing contact lenses and glasses.

He's also a good shot with a 9mm.

Very interesting...

Legal blindness is based on your vision without correction...meaning glasses and contacts... So some legally blind people can function and shoot if they are wearing their correctice eyewear or in the case of CBC's cousin eyewears Smile

It started in Texas. In late January (2005), entrepreneur John Lockwood let a friend become the first "hunter" to kill a confined animal via computer. The friend, Howard Giles, sitting in his home office 45 miles from Lockwood's canned hunting ranch in the Texas Hill Country, squarely lined up the animal in his computer sights and clicked the mouse. A rifle mounted in a blind back on Lockwood's ranch then fired a bullet at a wild hog hunched over a feeding station.

At that point a page should have popped up on Giles' computer screen: Fatality Not Found. According to news reports, Giles' remote-control shot hit the hog in the neck, wounding the animal. Lockwood, on site at the ranch, shot the animal two more times to kill him.
